Letter from John Weiss, Isles of Shoals, [Maine], to Samuel May, 1850 July 25
Description:
John Weiss writes to Samuel May thanking him for his invitation "to attend the celebration in Worcester." Weiss says lecturing is "out of my line" and declines the invitation "as I cannot thus add either to the interest or effect of any occasion." He tells May, "My only use would be like that of a discord in music, which enhances the effect of the succeeding chords."
